Chinese state media has announced the country is set to start looking for aliens. The tool for doing this is a gigantic radio telescope located in China’s Guizhou province. The Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope – known as FAST – finally went operational in January and will begin sifting through the cosmos to find evidence of intelligent alien life. China has already claimed the telescope has picked out 99 pulsars (spinning neutron stars) since it went operational. The telescope had been under construction for years, finally finishing in 2016. It’s the largest telescope of its kind in the world and Chinese state media announced it will begin searching for ‘extraterrestrial civilizations in September.
